Main changes from 2019">

Some indicators have been modified in the 2020 questionnaire compared with 2019, aiming to improve the capability of the LIFO model to consistently represent the state of play of location interoperability at the country and EU level.

The main changes, and the focus areas / /recommendations impacted are:

• Digital Government Integration:

1. Reduced focus on INSPIRE as reference SDI for the delivery of location-enabled services (Recommendation 7)
2. Changes in the calculation of INSPIRE country fiche indicators (Recommendation 7).

• Standardisation and Reuse:

1. More emphasis on the use of APIs for access to and reuse of location data, with new indicators (Recommendation 10)
2. New indicators on the use of metadata for joint discoverability of spatial and non-spatial data (Recommendation 12).

• Governance, partnerships and capabilities:

1. Questions on governance (approaches to joint involvement of all relevant stakeholders in the governance of SDI – Recommendation 17) and capabilities (approaches to geospatial training and skills - Recommendation 19) have passed from multiple choice to single choice.

For more details on the changes done, see Annex 2 in the 2020 country factsheets and the 2020 European State of Play.
